another SMTPserver. In order for this task to receive files, the SMTPServer (also called
"Outgoing Email Server")in the email client must point to PlanetPress Workflow server's IPor
hostname.
Warning
Emails received through this task will not reach their intended destination if the process
does not end with a Send Email Output Task, or contain the PlanetPress Connect
"Create Email Content" on page458 task.
Input
The SMTPInput task does not, by itself, capture any files. Neither does it directly wait for
requests to be received. Actually, it is the SMTPServer service that receives the requests and
places them in a specific location on the drive. When a request is received, the SMTP Input
polls that location and finds the requests and all attachments. It will always pick up the
"oldest"request received.
Warning
In its initial implementation, the SMTPInput task will NOTreceive the BCCaddresses
from most emails sent to it. This is due to a technical limitation that will be resolved in a
future version.
Processing
The task reads the incoming SMTPrequest and provides the data within its body.
Output
Depending on the Data Location option, the output is different:
l Envelope: The request file in XMLformat, including all email fields (from, to, cc, bcc,
subject, body) as well as additional header fields (email client information, attachments,
etc). The message body and attachments are available through specific XMLattributes.
These files do not have the full path, but you can use the %t%O variable to get the current
temporary folder where they are located.
